1. How we will change access to the NDIS

Access is when you can be part of something.

Our new law says we will tell you why you are part of the NDIS.

You might be part of the NDIS

• because of your permanent disability

• because you need early intervention

• because of your permanent disability and you need early intervention.

We will give people with permanent disability an impairment notice.

An impairment notice says what disabilities let you be a part of the NDIS.

We will check if people who get early intervention still need it.

We might decide that someone

• still needs early intervention

• does not need early intervention but still needs to be in the NDIS

• does not need early intervention and does not need to be in the NDIS.

We will make new rules for how we test functional capacity.

Functional capacity means what a person with disability

• can do

• needs support to do.
